Alabama abortion bill tabled after shouting match! (Original Post)

OP
------------
Alabama Rep. Terri Collins, who sponsored the bill, said its purpose is to spark litigation that would force the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guarantees a womans right to abortion.
Under the Alabama legislation, doctors will not be able to give abortions once a fetus is in utero.
The version that passed in the statehouse only allowed for a ThA note to WaPo and Alabama, when the zygote attaches to the uterine wall it enters the embryo stage. It is not a fetus until the placenta develops. A note to rational people, this bill is worse than the so-called "heart beat" laws that ban abortion at around six weeks. This Alabama bill bans abortion upon implantation.
These people sold their souls for Trump to get the supreme court nomination and now they want their return. Anyone who wonders how people that call themselves "Christians" could possibly support someone like Trump, this is your answer, right here. These nut cases are so dangerous.

Women do not even know they're pregnant at all before implantation.
Fuck. Them. All.
